Looking for an opportunity to volunteer?

Come to the Volunteer Meet and Match event hosted by the Oak Park Public Library on Wednesday, April 13 2016, 4-8 pm. This event is during National Volunteer Week to help volunteers connect with local nonprofits that address the causes they care for. The Oak Park River Forest Community Foundation, the West Cook YMCA (lead sponsor), Ten Thousand Villages, Ernest Hemmingway Foundation and the RSVP of West Suburban and Southern DuPage Counties have developed this event to match your interests and skills with nonprofit organizations that need your help. Twenty-five nonprofits have registered for the event and are seeking volunteers.

Ruth Reko, a leading member of the Volunteer Meet and Match Organizing Committee says, "With all the wonderful organizations in our community I know you can find a good fit for your talents and time. I'm looking forward to seeing you on April 13." Ruth has had a longstanding career in the nonprofit sector, most recently as Director of Lutheran Global Health Volunteers.

If you are interested in meeting with these organizations to discuss your skills and interests and their mission, needs and work, please register at www. OPRFCF.ORG or call 708 848 1560.
